yo Arc? Please tell me we’re going to get to completely dominate the Ent Birch, (see what i did there? hehe) I’m not even into it all that much but, you’ve really made her infuriatingly arrogant and unlikably ruthless, so I just want MC to fuck her silly till she’s no longer such a birch.
Oh speaking of dominating, for the dungeon in the manor will/would it ever be possible to summon any of the other girls besides just Jessica or Gwen? As prior to having checked it out I had been hoping I would be able to bring/summon both Madison and Veronica there as they had seemed like good choice to bring to it.
Not going to happen, I'm afraid, for the simple reason that there's about a thousand different ways that could break the game and I don't want to spend the next five months patching them all out :P
Step 5-(optional):Cry cuz you got stuck, and have a hard time using a key cuz you are not native English speaker , or just you misspelled the same thing 10 times cuz in your mind it was correct)
Enter the Nexus and click on the "Use Key" icon in the bottom-left. You can only do this if you have progressed through the Eldritch storyline to the point where the MC learns that Nexus keys are a thing
what about a random event that can occur when you have at full research f lyx in which for obvious "scientific" reasons you can find her sleeping together in our own bed in the morning?
So how do I unlock this outfit for pixie? (I have every other one unlocked already) Also I am lost on how I am supposed to trigger the sleepover event that pixie has mentioned before.
We know that at this point that the pool twins(At the college) are the daughters of the ditzy mom(Of the big three), and I'm assuming sword girl(The one during uniform check) is the daughter of Sally(Queen Bee).
So can I assume that Basketball girl is the daughter of the second in command mom?
......Just guessing, since with all the girls that had more individual scenes, I don't think it will be the four in the courtyard, and quiet girl(Can't wait to see more of her, I wonder if her situation is similar to that of Emma's) doesn't seem like it either. Or is it actually sword girl(And basketball girl is daughter of Queen Bee)? Or am I actually wrong with everything?
Can't wait to see more
Also, is there anyway to skip repeated dialogue?(Particularly the one when teaching the class, the fingers kinda hurt when you have to grind education level and points......) And wouldn't it be nice( and affordable) to get some new student sign in sheets(...Just kidding, though been trying to guess basketball girl and quiet girl's name, the former I think may be Jeanne, Jenna or Jennie, no Jessie since we have a Jessica already, and the latter... well, s, p, and x just seemed like too random of a combination for a name... got names that start with s and either contains p or x, but nothing with all three together)
Could be! Or then again, could be not ;) No spoilers from me!
You can skip repeated dialogue by tapping "TAB" on your keyboard (or holding down CTRL although I don't recommend that option as it glitches out for some people). If you're on a phone then tapping the "skip" button in the quick menu on the bottom of the screen will do the same thing.
Maybe try using HIDDEN VOICES on the quiet girl for a hint as to what her weird-lettered name could be... ;)
Quiet girl's name is probly Sphinx, she may be another fey/ monster/ catgirl? :D. She is pondering about a mithological riddle about legs and time of the day :). Also her quiet nature is somehow connected to sphinx or cat maybe, but im unable to catch that unclear memory.
I really like the game. I never played adult game like this and only play for the laugh, but the funny and intriguing content kept me going till the end (I guess? I actually skipped quite a few scenes chosing "no thanks maybe later"). And it's great you don't commit any time table so you can focus on quality and fun, not churn out content. I'm also really surprised and impressed how you spend time made the Christmas and Portugal ones, truly showing the love of what you do (or else you would just minimize working hours)!
That being said, I can't help feeling that scenes are the cherries on top of the deep character building to keep the players forward. The struggle of characters just made them that much closer to players, more so to provide motivation of conquer/help/destroy. So I'm really looking forward to see how you are going to build characters like Chastity, which has a real reason to do what she did, with no cheeky convenient MC super power. The more struggle there is for everyone, like the fall of Luna empire, the more players are hooked up to see to the end, and all came out with a great experience of the story.
Thank you for your talent and time, it really gave me and many others a blast! If you felt tired, please take a break, everyone would understand it (except those ungrateful losers you won't care about anyway)
Hey, thanks for the kind words and the long review! I really appreciate the time you took to write all that out, and I'm glad that you're enjoying the game! I hope you continue to have fun with everything I have planned for the future! :)
As for taking a break, well it's actually my birthday next week so I'll be taking a week off to rest up. Thanks for the concern :)
i feel the date with Claire should be made available later when u level up your relation with her. mainly how through the dialogue she casually mentions the MC's mom and that gave me some whiplash and felt like I missed an event or 2
We would have to wait quite a bit then, the bar was a perfect excuse to spend time with her.
But yeah, it was kinda weird. She knows about you but you're never really told that.
Only way you'd know Claire knew the MC's mom is when you play the eldritch side of the main story and someone else mentions it. Completely unrelated to the storyline Claire is involved with.
That's a fair point, that Claire wouldn't know that you were the son of the woman she was thinking about. I'll rewrite the dialogue slightly to reflect that fact :)
Also, you won't be able to get closer to Claire until Act Three, by which point the club dates will become unavailable, so it was now or never for the date event ;P
Claire could've made the connection on her own. May be a bit of a stretch but hear me out.
She didn't know anything about us, until the encounter with Tom.
There she learned that Robin was "the guy her dad's obsessed about"#nohomo
And well... Who knows how secretive they are within members of the ORG. Or how much she actually knows or cares about "the guy".
But poking around for a bit, it would most likely end up linking back to Robin's mom. After all, the reason Tom was after Robin was because of his mother. Also why Jessica is helping us.
Regular ORG goons noticed that Tom had a stick up his ass about Robin, I wouldn't be surprised if the Chief's daughter could dig up or just overhear more info on the matter.
Bah, what the fuck am I doing, telling the dev how his own fucking story goes.
Still, you either had something similar in your head or just forgot when you wrote the dialogue in the first place.
I didn't really see anything wrong with it, but probably because the bar dates were added after the eldritch event.
I just assumed Claire found out a bit more on who Robin was after the date.
my problem is that given her family issues and how jessica and your mom were the only positive adults in her life. finding out that your her son would likely be an important point in their relationship that changes it from wanting to piss off her dad, to actually having an emotional connection...and then a genital connection
Yeah, it will most certainly be part of her progression, but in would also be kinda iffy if the only reason she's going after you is because you are your mother's son.
She did soften up two times. First time when the MC mentioned that he didn't have a mother. Second time when we came around with Jessica.
But to me the progression seemed fine. She knows our mother, so she has some interest in us aside from just wanting to piss off her dad. She's not going to be head-over-heels because we're the son of one of the only people that treated her right, but she's at least giving us a chance.
Eh, not like it matters, Arc already changed the dialogue and who knows how he's going to progress her story. Claire is not a main girl, won't be a main girl either. But she seems to be a borderline main girl. More content than the average side girl but no story of her own.
Well, another one added on the list, after Festivals with Kana
At this point, maybe we can assume that many of the dates(Karaoke Dates with Emma, Park dates with Emma or Lily, Beach Dates, etc) Would be unavailable in Act III as well......
just want to say this is a great game, although there seems to have been a glitch with my game, somehow veronica and madison got pregnant? like i didnt have impregnation enabled, i had one save a while ago where i got everyone pregnant but i stopped using that save, so first somehow kana stayed pregnant but nobody else was, then i dowloaded the latest update and suddenly when I return from the mountains both veronica and madison are pregnant. also im not sure how to unlock all the outfits for gwen or pixie or jessica. how can i fix all these problems?
For the outfits, you're going to have to be more specific, as I have no way to know which ones you're missing.
Although, the girls you mention have one outfit that unlocks in the same branch so I'll assume is that.
Buy the halloween themed furniture and set it up in your room. Then sleep a couple of nights to see Pixie's event. As for Gwen and Jess, fix the dungeon if you haven't and check it at night (while you have the halloween furniture on)
As for the pregnancy stuff... Only thing I can say is... Odd.
You see, the pregnancy content is completely frozen if you hit the switch in preferences.
Important part is "frozen", not disabled. What will happen is that girls can't get impregnated (no prompt about pregnancy whatsoever) But also girls that were already pregnant before you turned off the option will remain forever pregnant, and also kids won't grow past babies.
The pregnancy toggle is not stored in the saves themselves, but on the persistent file, so it carries over all of your saves.
Arc might have more to add, but that's all I can provide. You probably switched off the pregnancy while a girl was already pregnant.
yeah i assume it is the halloween stuff ill be sure to do that, as for the pregnancy stuff I figured out that girls that were already pregnant would stay that way, since i accidentally kept kana like that but the thing is kana was the only one so im not sure how veronica and madison got that way lol
Just want to say this is such an amazing game so far, will for sure pledge for support. Though I am at a part where it says ENDURE during the robot fight but when I chose it say there is nothing for me to endure at the moment?
For some god unknown reason I cant play the latest version. The game refuses to open and I've tried downloading it on other platforms and running as administrator. If its relevant I tried opening the python.exe file and it only pops up for a split second, it said import error: no module named site.
Hey, I just wanted to say that this is just a genuinely fun play and is very entertaining. It's a little tropey but that's not really a bad thing.
I did have one feature request though. Is there any way to introduce the ability to rename the characters you have sex with? Due to some similarities to RL, some interactions are very uncomfortable for me for reasons I will obviously not get into. I know some other games allow this but I don't know the specifics of your codebase so that may or may not be something that could be implemented easily.
Unfortunately, no, that's not possible in CK - the names are all baked in, and it would take an extremely long time to sift through the entire code to rework and redirect all the names for all the characters. Sorry!
The next main story update will move everything into Act Three (in which things get a bit crazy) so I'm trying to get all the side content done first. Going as fast as I can! :)
Hi, I just went back to an old save(To get Ami cause I didn't in my first play through), but my memory has kinda blurred, what do we have to do to learn ENDLESS AIR? Or will we do when we progressing the story?
Sorry if I'm wasting your time, but I wanted to ask if there's a way to win Lily's trust without using your powers. I had to re-install Windows a few weeks ago and had to download the game again, I was playing it just now, but the thing is that I can't win Lily's trust without using the control power. Perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me, but I don't remember using them when I played some version from before my PC malfunction.
Again, my memory sometimes is kinda bad and it's been a while since I last played... but the fight with the debt collectors was on the 1st ep and that helped you win her trust, right?
I'm always happy to answer questions, and I never view it as a waste of time :)
You do have to use Control on Lily in Act One - there's no other way to progress with her, I'm afraid. And I think the debt collector fight is in Act Two, though I can't say that with absolute certainty (sadly, Lily has been languishing while other events occupied my attention!)
Yes, you can. In fact, if you're on PC, Linux or Mac you can delete the game folder even BEFORE you download the new update! The game will still remember your saves :)
I know Ive given you positive feedback before but Im here for more. All the updates are taking an amazing route man. The game is turning into everything one could hope for. I wish other devs could learn from your example. Personally, if I ever hit the lottery Id spoil your ass 😂 All jokes aside youre doing an incredible job and I cant wait to see whats to come (yeah both ways of come haha)
Make sure you've done "Explore" in the Outskirts Map (the one with the farm) and found the Goblin Witch. Follow her questline and when you've learned her name you can go to Chloe's room any morning to continue her quest.
Hey Arcadean, I already told you that I really love your game, so there's that.
I just wanted to know for my own purposes (since I like writing stories and wanting to dip into renpy/animation/anime-style-games, which foundation do you use? Is it koikatsu, or sth else, because I love monster girls and your game is probably one of, if not the best one to satiate this "urge". So since I wanted to also use monstergirls, that's why I want to know. (Or is there any advise or sth that you can give me)
Sorry for asking, when you're probably pretty occupied by creating this awesome game. But thanks anyway and wish you a good day and keep up this awesome development! <3
Hey, thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
As for your questions, well, feel free to ask anytime - I'm always happy to help players out if I can!
So, as to what I use, here's all the tech:
Software Development Kit (SDK): Ren'Py. The best free SDK for making visual novels, although if you want something more along the lines of a point-and-click then I can highly recommend Visionaire Studio.
Character Design/Modelling/Scene & Anim Creation: Koikatsu with all DLC and every mod I can get my hands on. Notable mods: Video Export, Screenshot Manager, Lighting and Timeline.
Render Editing: Photoshop (Although Krita is an amazing free alternative - I'm just used to PS's text options)
Animation Editing: Premiere Pro (Video Export mod will handle 99% of your animation needs, though. I just use Premiere to apply black bar overlays and to properly loop effects like water. This one isn't really necessary, honestly, if you're smart about camera angles.)
Music & Sound Design/Editing: Audacity. Mostly used for equalising the dB levels (effectively the baseline and capped volumes) of music so that players don't have to keep adjusting their volume control. Also used to edit and create certain sound effects used in-game. Free, and highly recommended. Good music/sound is half the battle when it comes to making decent games.
Workflow Management: Codecks. This isn't really necessary, but if you're looking for a good, free, workflow management tool and Notepad files are getting too out of control then I highly recommend this one.
And that's basically it! I might be forgetting one or two minor things but those are the tools I use to create CK.
As for how to build monster girls, well the best advice I can give is to get very familiar with bone modding and accessories in the character creator, and then analyse other people's creations (such as the ever-amazing Zolla) to see how they did what they did. Unfortunately there's no "magic bullet" for building Monster Girls, though, and Koikatsu has no real collision detection so clipping will occur.
Good luck! And when you start your project be sure to head over to the CK Discord and share your work on #i-made-this and #link-sharing! :)
Really, Thank you very much. I appreaciate it a lot and it will come in helpful!
I can only imagine (and kind of understand) the sheer amount of work, time and dedication one has to put into a project. And even more if you're really keen about upholding a good quality standard. Regarding the Discord invite, I'll gladly come over (wonder why I didn't do so until now tbh) and when there's anything to show, maybe I'll try doing it :)
The software is called "Koikatsu" (Or "Koikatsu Party" in the West), and there's an expansion called "Koikatsu Sunshine". All of which can be found on their website or on Steam.
It's developed by the awesome "Illusion Soft", who allow amateur indie devs like myself to use their assets royalty-free! Which is just incredible of them, honestly.
They also made AIS, Honey Select 1 & 2 and various other games, all of which follow the "if you're in indie dev feel free to use our assets!" motto, so if you're interested then check them out!
Oh, and shameless plug: if you own Koikatsu/Party/Sunshine, you can pledge on my Patreon or Subscribestar to gain access to all the CK character cards, so you can put them in the game and play, pose, or do whatever you like with them! :)
Firstly, can I try adding the characters from CK to Akinator? (I'm really just asking for permission here.)
Secondly, (this only makes sense if the answer to the first question is yes) does Qarinah have the ability to actually fly? Cuz I know she has wings but we never actually see her flapping them or something like that so I'm not 100% sure that she can fly.
Lastly, (once again, this only makes sense if the answer to the first question is yes) what are their (all the characters) ages, their nationality and do I consider that they speak English (cuz text) or Japanese (cuz the game looks a bit like a game that will originate an anime/manga) ?
P. S.: I love this game so so much, this is the first time I've ever liked a 3D game this much. Thank you so much Arcadean, please keep up the good work.
Hey, thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
As for your questions:
1. Absolutely! People can do anything and everything they want with my characters (but if you're sharing with other people, please link back to my Patreon or Subscribestar!)
2. Qarinah has never actually been in the physical world so far as MC knows. She resides solely in dreams and in the minds of those sleeping or newly-awake. Can she fly in dreams? Sure! She can do whatever she likes in dreams! In reality, though? Who knows? That may not even be what she looks like outside of her realm...
3. Character ages are left deliberately ambiguous so people can imagine whatever they like best. There ARE canon ages for the characters but unless it becomes necessary in future games set in this universe I won't be revealing them.
Thanks a lot for answering me and damn you answer people fast.
I thought I'd get an answer in like 10 hours or so. I didn't expect you to answer me this quickly, actually I even altered my 3rd paragraph (I'm not counting the 1st sentence as a paragraph) a bit by adding more questions but you answered me before I could do that so now I'm like... What do I do, do I rewrite the questions that weren't answered in another comment or just say like: "Hey, Arcadean, you didn't answer all my questions.". Although that ain't your fault since you couldn't even know that those questions existed when you answered me.
Haha, it's fine - I'll answer your edited questions here:
Whilst the characters do have canon ages and nationalities, I have deliberately kept all that vague in the game so that players can make assumptions that best fit their concept of the characters. Ages and nationalities aren't important to the story, and when something isn't crucial to events I prefer to let players fill in the blanks with their own imaginations.
Also, it makes future translations of the game feel more natural. I want players who are Russian, Czech, Brazilian or Japanese to all feel like this could be happening in their own country just as much as players from the US or Britain.
Hope that answers everything! :) If not, or if you have any more questions, just let me know! I'm always happy to answer.

I legit love this game, much funnier than I would have expected! Keep up the hard work sir!
P.s. I laughed for 5 minutes the first time I tried the 1mil gold cheat...too good!
Aww, thanks! I really appreciate that! :) Always means a lot to a solo dev to hear that the writing lands!
yo Arc? Please tell me we’re going to get to completely dominate the Ent Birch, (see what i did there? hehe) I’m not even into it all that much but, you’ve really made her infuriatingly arrogant and unlikably ruthless, so I just want MC to fuck her silly till she’s no longer such a birch.
Iseewhatyoudidthere
Worry not! Morgana is going to get what's coming to her. There's a reason she has a "Fear" meter instead of a love meter like everyone else... ;)
Oh speaking of dominating, for the dungeon in the manor will/would it ever be possible to summon any of the other girls besides just Jessica or Gwen? As prior to having checked it out I had been hoping I would be able to bring/summon both Madison and Veronica there as they had seemed like good choice to bring to it.
it would be nice if there was an option in the cheats menu thats on the laptop tp make everyone not pregnant or pregnant, and to unlock all outfits
Not going to happen, I'm afraid, for the simple reason that there's about a thousand different ways that could break the game and I don't want to spend the next five months patching them all out :P
lol fair enough
How do i enter the Nexus Keys? I dont see any Bar where i can type them in, can somebody Help me with this?
Step one: go to nexus,
Step 2: LOOK IN THE LEFT CORNER
Step 3: press use key
Step 4: use key
Step 5-(optional):Cry cuz you got stuck, and have a hard time using a key cuz you are not native English speaker , or just you misspelled the same thing 10 times cuz in your mind it was correct)
Hope I helped
Enter the Nexus and click on the "Use Key" icon in the bottom-left. You can only do this if you have progressed through the Eldritch storyline to the point where the MC learns that Nexus keys are a thing
Im protesting for more Quiet Girl story!
Calm down, Arc will be doing the update for her soon. I'm looking forward for it too.
I think the quiet girl is gonna be relevant to the plot in act 3.
How relevant? I have no idea, but it sure does sound interesting cuz I love her design.
what about a random event that can occur when you have at full research f lyx in which for obvious "scientific" reasons you can find her sleeping together in our own bed in the morning?
Someone already discover some key words?
So how do I unlock this outfit for pixie? (I have every other one unlocked already) Also I am lost on how I am supposed to trigger the sleepover event that pixie has mentioned before.
You need to buy the entire set of halloween from the store, the pumpkin, the paper and the bed. And then just sleep 2 days in your bed.
how can I have a private lesson with the quite girl in the library?
You can't. She is hiding something, and will be updated about her story in the future.
Yes!
So
We know that at this point that the pool twins(At the college) are the daughters of the ditzy mom(Of the big three), and I'm assuming sword girl(The one during uniform check) is the daughter of Sally(Queen Bee).
So can I assume that Basketball girl is the daughter of the second in command mom?
......Just guessing, since with all the girls that had more individual scenes, I don't think it will be the four in the courtyard, and quiet girl(Can't wait to see more of her, I wonder if her situation is similar to that of Emma's) doesn't seem like it either. Or is it actually sword girl(And basketball girl is daughter of Queen Bee)? Or am I actually wrong with everything?
Can't wait to see more
Also, is there anyway to skip repeated dialogue?(Particularly the one when teaching the class, the fingers kinda hurt when you have to grind education level and points......) And wouldn't it be nice( and affordable) to get some new student sign in sheets(...Just kidding, though been trying to guess basketball girl and quiet girl's name, the former I think may be Jeanne, Jenna or Jennie, no Jessie since we have a Jessica already, and the latter... well, s, p, and x just seemed like too random of a combination for a name... got names that start with s and either contains p or x, but nothing with all three together)
Could be! Or then again, could be not ;) No spoilers from me!

“What walks on 4 legs in the morning 2 legs at noon and 3 at night?”
The answer is a person, r8?
I kinda remember that riddle from when I was younger...
The answer is Man. Crawls on hands and knees as infant, walks on two legs for the majority of life, then uses a cane in old age.
This is actually a very old riddle. There's an excellent story behind it.
EDIT: Removed potential spoiler
I am fully aware of both the story and the answer to the riddle, I was cheekily nodding at Arc because of the comment he was responding to.
Ah, I kind of lost sight of the original post when typing my reply. Edited previous reply to remove potential spoilers, assuming my theory is correct.
Happy B-day Arc!
Spoiler alert!
Quiet girl's name is probly Sphinx, she may be another fey/ monster/ catgirl? :D. She is pondering about a mithological riddle about legs and time of the day :). Also her quiet nature is somehow connected to sphinx or cat maybe, but im unable to catch that unclear memory.
Using drift in the school causes MC to sense something muffled. I think it's def quiet girl and probably a sphinx.
Registered here just to leave a comment.
I really like the game. I never played adult game like this and only play for the laugh, but the funny and intriguing content kept me going till the end (I guess?

Yup! Shit is really gonna hit the fan in Act Three :)
as long as the date with claire doesn't give me confusing whiplash and make me think i missed something. I won't have any complaints
The option to invite Renee is not showing up
Yeah, it's fixed on 0.15.5
Coming up next thursday... so in two days.
awesome thanks for the info
y'all used a SIMS 4 BED? UBHEDBWUEYD OMG LMFAO
Does anyone know what you need to do to interact more with the quiet girl?
You can't.
She's hiding something and won't be revealed until later.
Possibly on act 3.
just want to say this is a great game, although there seems to have been a glitch with my game, somehow veronica and madison got pregnant? like i didnt have impregnation enabled, i had one save a while ago where i got everyone pregnant but i stopped using that save, so first somehow kana stayed pregnant but nobody else was, then i dowloaded the latest update and suddenly when I return from the mountains both veronica and madison are pregnant. also im not sure how to unlock all the outfits for gwen or pixie or jessica. how can i fix all these problems?
For the outfits, you're going to have to be more specific, as I have no way to know which ones you're missing.
Although, the girls you mention have one outfit that unlocks in the same branch so I'll assume is that.
Buy the halloween themed furniture and set it up in your room.
Then sleep a couple of nights to see Pixie's event. As for Gwen and Jess, fix the dungeon if you haven't and check it at night (while you have the halloween furniture on)
As for the pregnancy stuff... Only thing I can say is... Odd.
You see, the pregnancy content is completely frozen if you hit the switch in preferences.
Important part is "frozen", not disabled.
What will happen is that girls can't get impregnated (no prompt about pregnancy whatsoever)
But also girls that were already pregnant before you turned off the option will remain forever pregnant, and also kids won't grow past babies.
The pregnancy toggle is not stored in the saves themselves, but on the persistent file, so it carries over all of your saves.
Arc might have more to add, but that's all I can provide.
You probably switched off the pregnancy while a girl was already pregnant.
yeah i assume it is the halloween stuff ill be sure to do that, as for the pregnancy stuff I figured out that girls that were already pregnant would stay that way, since i accidentally kept kana like that but the thing is kana was the only one so im not sure how veronica and madison got that way lol
Just want to say this is such an amazing game so far, will for sure pledge for support. Though I am at a part where it says ENDURE during the robot fight but when I chose it say there is nothing for me to endure at the moment?
Well, it fails due to a statcheck.
You need to have Physical and Martial at the current max level.
(check the stats page on how to raise stats)
Yeah I realized that after I checked that saying I must train with someone new to raise it but thank you still for the fast response!
is it possible to have both quirks unlocked?
Care to elaborate?
Some of them, yes.
Like Jessica can have both Auntie and Adultress.
But in the case of Chloe, she swaps between them if you ask her to.
how do you active the bimbo quirk in chloe i cant get it
You progress the main story, to a point where you go to hunt fey with Chloe.
After the hunt she should have a new option if you talk to her in her room during the morning.
I am ruined, cursed even.
Normal day, just scrolling through YouTube shorts watching normal videos.
You know what I hear? Corrupted Kingdom music. It's everywhere and I can't even cope with the fact that i know the song because of a p game.
But seriously though, didn't expect to spend this much time in a p game. it's genuinely fun. Thanks Arcadean.
The fatal flaw of royalty-free music. I heard one of the songs I use in a television ad the other day! ;P
I'm glad you're enjoying the game, though! And I hope you stick around and enjoy everything I have planned for future updates :)
For some god unknown reason I cant play the latest version. The game refuses to open and I've tried downloading it on other platforms and running as administrator. If its relevant I tried opening the python.exe file and it only pops up for a split second, it said import error: no module named site.
There is no python.exe file in any of the update files so I'm a little confused... are you on the right game page? :P
yep I'm in the right page I went corrupted Kingdoms/lib/windows-x86_64 than ran python.exe to see if it would work instead of the application
Hey, I just wanted to say that this is just a genuinely fun play and is very entertaining. It's a little tropey but that's not really a bad thing.
I did have one feature request though. Is there any way to introduce the ability to rename the characters you have sex with? Due to some similarities to RL, some interactions are very uncomfortable for me for reasons I will obviously not get into. I know some other games allow this but I don't know the specifics of your codebase so that may or may not be something that could be implemented easily.
Regardless, keep up the good work :)
Unfortunately, no, that's not possible in CK - the names are all baked in, and it would take an extremely long time to sift through the entire code to rework and redirect all the names for all the characters. Sorry!
Unfortunate but not unexpected. Thanks for the reply.
in which update continus the main story? or do i need to reset the game and do everything all over again?
The next main story update will move everything into Act Three (in which things get a bit crazy) so I'm trying to get all the side content done first. Going as fast as I can! :)
i played most games that you can see by 'games like this' by the page to choose the download option. I am waiting on updates for all of them😅
do you have an estimate of how many updates it might take for all the side content in act 2 to finish?
Hi, I just went back to an old save(To get Ami cause I didn't in my first play through), but my memory has kinda blurred, what do we have to do to learn ENDLESS AIR? Or will we do when we progressing the story?
You learn Endless Air during the Eldritch storyline :)
Hey Arcadean.
Sorry if I'm wasting your time, but I wanted to ask if there's a way to win Lily's trust without using your powers. I had to re-install Windows a few weeks ago and had to download the game again, I was playing it just now, but the thing is that I can't win Lily's trust without using the control power. Perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me, but I don't remember using them when I played some version from before my PC malfunction.
Again, my memory sometimes is kinda bad and it's been a while since I last played... but the fight with the debt collectors was on the 1st ep and that helped you win her trust, right?
I'm always happy to answer questions, and I never view it as a waste of time :)
You do have to use Control on Lily in Act One - there's no other way to progress with her, I'm afraid. And I think the debt collector fight is in Act Two, though I can't say that with absolute certainty (sadly, Lily has been languishing while other events occupied my attention!)
Thx for taking the time to answer bro, I appreciate it, specially on you being so fast
I was right on my 2nd assumption then! My mind was playing tricks on me!!! My bad lol
Again, thanks! Take care bro! Your game is pretty epic, I love it! <3
when I download the new version can I delete the old version, I'm on PC
Yes, you can. In fact, if you're on PC, Linux or Mac you can delete the game folder even BEFORE you download the new update! The game will still remember your saves :)
Are we ok to delete the old apk after we download the new one?
You can download the old APK, but DO NOT delete/uninstall the game itself or you'll lose all your saves :)
Ok im guessing you mean delete? Lol i just wanna say this is one of the best games i have played on here yet! Keep up the great work!
Sorry, yes, you can delete the old APK but don't delete or uninstall the game :P That'll teach me not to proof-read my own posts!
And thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything I have planned for the future! :)
Typo? :3 By the way, LOVED the new update <3
As mentioned in the comments on the release post, yes :)
Glad you enjoyed the update!
Yes, I certainly do. I look forward for more updates :D
I know Ive given you positive feedback before but Im here for more. All the updates are taking an amazing route man. The game is turning into everything one could hope for. I wish other devs could learn from your example. Personally, if I ever hit the lottery Id spoil your ass 😂 All jokes aside youre doing an incredible job and I cant wait to see whats to come (yeah both ways of come haha)
Haha, well thank you! And I hope you win the lottery some day ;)
I'm glad you enjoyed the update, and I hope you equally enjoy everything I have planned for the future!
HOLY CRAP, that's a LOT of updates today. Well, that caught me off guard, Arc LOL
Cheers for the updates, and I wonder if Veronica, Madison and some other girls will have the sleeping and kissing options in the future, hehe :3
Thanks as usual, Arc.
booooyyyyy
I need a Kiss Update.
I love all of them and I need a non-lustfilled way of demonstrating it.
I actually do have "kiss renders" for the girls ready to go, just like Annie's. Maybe I can get them in for next update...
Heyyo, absolutely love the game. excitement through the roof for further development of this masterpiece of an eroge.
Hey, thanks a lot - I really appreciate that :) I hope all my plans for the future of CK meet your expectations!
Hi Arcadean, is this arrow supposed to be visible?, as it looks/looked out of place in the scene to me. Absolutely loving the game also.
Whoops! No it is not - good catch. Fixed :)
I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
How do I find chole
Make sure you've done "Explore" in the Outskirts Map (the one with the farm) and found the Goblin Witch. Follow her questline and when you've learned her name you can go to Chloe's room any morning to continue her quest.
Hey Arcadean, I already told you that I really love your game, so there's that.
I just wanted to know for my own purposes (since I like writing stories and wanting to dip into renpy/animation/anime-style-games, which foundation do you use? Is it koikatsu, or sth else, because I love monster girls and your game is probably one of, if not the best one to satiate this "urge". So since I wanted to also use monstergirls, that's why I want to know. (Or is there any advise or sth that you can give me)
Sorry for asking, when you're probably pretty occupied by creating this awesome game. But thanks anyway and wish you a good day and keep up this awesome development! <3
Hey, thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
As for your questions, well, feel free to ask anytime - I'm always happy to help players out if I can!
So, as to what I use, here's all the tech:
Software Development Kit (SDK): Ren'Py. The best free SDK for making visual novels, although if you want something more along the lines of a point-and-click then I can highly recommend Visionaire Studio.
Character Design/Modelling/Scene & Anim Creation: Koikatsu with all DLC and every mod I can get my hands on. Notable mods: Video Export, Screenshot Manager, Lighting and Timeline.
Render Editing: Photoshop (Although Krita is an amazing free alternative - I'm just used to PS's text options)
Animation Editing: Premiere Pro (Video Export mod will handle 99% of your animation needs, though. I just use Premiere to apply black bar overlays and to properly loop effects like water. This one isn't really necessary, honestly, if you're smart about camera angles.)
Music & Sound Design/Editing: Audacity. Mostly used for equalising the dB levels (effectively the baseline and capped volumes) of music so that players don't have to keep adjusting their volume control. Also used to edit and create certain sound effects used in-game. Free, and highly recommended. Good music/sound is half the battle when it comes to making decent games.
Workflow Management: Codecks. This isn't really necessary, but if you're looking for a good, free, workflow management tool and Notepad files are getting too out of control then I highly recommend this one.
And that's basically it! I might be forgetting one or two minor things but those are the tools I use to create CK.
As for how to build monster girls, well the best advice I can give is to get very familiar with bone modding and accessories in the character creator, and then analyse other people's creations (such as the ever-amazing Zolla) to see how they did what they did. Unfortunately there's no "magic bullet" for building Monster Girls, though, and Koikatsu has no real collision detection so clipping will occur.
Good luck! And when you start your project be sure to head over to the CK Discord and share your work on #i-made-this and #link-sharing! :)
Really, Thank you very much.
I appreaciate it a lot and it will come in helpful!
I can only imagine (and kind of understand) the sheer amount of work, time and dedication one has to put into a project.
And even more if you're really keen about upholding a good quality standard. Regarding the Discord invite, I'll gladly come over (wonder why I didn't do so until now tbh) and when there's anything to show, maybe I'll try doing it :)
So, thanks again and have a wonderful day! <3
Can anyone help me, what should i do??
go to the nexus, use keys, then type think backwards
Just go to the Nexus, click on "Use Key" and then type "think backwards" :)
"sdrawkcab kniht" and "kniht" also work.
For future reference, if a hint or lead tells you to use a key, and contains words in orange, just type whatever the orange words are.
I keep seeing models in this style... where do you guys get these models
The software is called "Koikatsu" (Or "Koikatsu Party" in the West), and there's an expansion called "Koikatsu Sunshine". All of which can be found on their website or on Steam.
It's developed by the awesome "Illusion Soft", who allow amateur indie devs like myself to use their assets royalty-free! Which is just incredible of them, honestly.
They also made AIS, Honey Select 1 & 2 and various other games, all of which follow the "if you're in indie dev feel free to use our assets!" motto, so if you're interested then check them out!
Oh, and shameless plug: if you own Koikatsu/Party/Sunshine, you can pledge on my Patreon or Subscribestar to gain access to all the CK character cards, so you can put them in the game and play, pose, or do whatever you like with them! :)
How many kids is maximum?
One kid per mother (the ones in the nexus pretty much don't exist IMO)
And 10 girls can get pregnant for now.
Kana, Pixie, Lily, Jessica, Madison, Veronica, Annie, Asteria, Luna and Emma.
The other main girls need some more progression and side girls... I don't know when will that happen.
No, and it probably won't unless there's an overwhelming amount of people asking for it.
ADDENDUM: Post was asking about the game having futa
I would like to know a few things...
Firstly, can I try adding the characters from CK to Akinator? (I'm really just asking for permission here.)
Secondly, (this only makes sense if the answer to the first question is yes) does Qarinah have the ability to actually fly? Cuz I know she has wings but we never actually see her flapping them or something like that so I'm not 100% sure that she can fly.
Lastly, (once again, this only makes sense if the answer to the first question is yes) what are their (all the characters) ages, their nationality and do I consider that they speak English (cuz text) or Japanese (cuz the game looks a bit like a game that will originate an anime/manga) ?
P. S.: I love this game so so much, this is the first time I've ever liked a 3D game this much. Thank you so much Arcadean, please keep up the good work.
Hey, thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying the game! :)
As for your questions:
1. Absolutely! People can do anything and everything they want with my characters (but if you're sharing with other people, please link back to my Patreon or Subscribestar!)
2. Qarinah has never actually been in the physical world so far as MC knows. She resides solely in dreams and in the minds of those sleeping or newly-awake. Can she fly in dreams? Sure! She can do whatever she likes in dreams! In reality, though? Who knows? That may not even be what she looks like outside of her realm...
3. Character ages are left deliberately ambiguous so people can imagine whatever they like best. There ARE canon ages for the characters but unless it becomes necessary in future games set in this universe I won't be revealing them.
Hope that answers your questions! :)
Thanks a lot for answering me and damn you answer people fast.
I thought I'd get an answer in like 10 hours or so. I didn't expect you to answer me this quickly, actually I even altered my 3rd paragraph (I'm not counting the 1st sentence as a paragraph) a bit by adding more questions but you answered me before I could do that so now I'm like... What do I do, do I rewrite the questions that weren't answered in another comment or just say like: "Hey, Arcadean, you didn't answer all my questions.". Although that ain't your fault since you couldn't even know that those questions existed when you answered me.
Haha, it's fine - I'll answer your edited questions here:
Whilst the characters do have canon ages and nationalities, I have deliberately kept all that vague in the game so that players can make assumptions that best fit their concept of the characters. Ages and nationalities aren't important to the story, and when something isn't crucial to events I prefer to let players fill in the blanks with their own imaginations.
Also, it makes future translations of the game feel more natural. I want players who are Russian, Czech, Brazilian or Japanese to all feel like this could be happening in their own country just as much as players from the US or Britain.
Hope that answers everything! :) If not, or if you have any more questions, just let me know! I'm always happy to answer.
Ok, thanks. :)
